Elias is a new arrival, having just been sent in from another unit today, and for the moment is doing his best to fit in with all the other Irregulars now as well. Huddling down near the sled, he pulls his helmet down a little lower in a vain attempt to cover his face, while he keeps his rifle at a ready position.

Valtteri crouches down next to Elias, being a rookie himself. He looks around nervously, "So…. the Russians? I've heard nasty things. How many are true?"

Vesa checks his supplies for the molotovs he'd brought along, then looks back at the others. A cold wind makes him have to squint for a few seconds. "How many people have we got that can use the molotovs? Two?" He counts heads briefly, then looks at Valtteri and shrugs. "They flounder in the cold. Long as you don't get yourself stuck in their fire for too long." The teenager has a noticeable Russian accent, himself.

Marko nods his head, "I have two on me. I can use them if I get close enough. Or if they come close to me." he smiles and taps his molotovs.

Markku is somewhat peeved, at the moment. Wouldn't you be, too, if you were used to a machine gun, and had to carry a rifle? The frostbite on his leg isn't helping, either. "I can't. But I think we need to worry about positions for now. We won't be able to clear the trucks from here. We need more time to fire on them, and they need to get closer."

Elias :glances over to Valtteri next to him, shivering a little, and attempts to pull a scarf up over his face. "Can't really say." He notes as his teeth chatter together. "Aint took too much time to have a conversation with them while we've been trading injuries." Looking over to Vesa now, Elias volunteers a simple. "I got a few."

"One, they're as ugly dead as alive." Pentti replies to Valtteri, he looks over to Vesa and grins before he continues. "We will have plenty of time to fire on them once we've wrecked them."

Vesa glances around as people speak up, flashing Pentti a quick grin in return. "We need some people on the ice with the molotovs. People with the best arm and who won't be seen easily. The rest giving cover fire from the north and south."

"Ahh… so no fangs or beady red eyes. I thought those villagers might have been exaggerating." Valtteri says in response to the various answers. He stands up, brushing some of the snow off his clothes, looking over his rifle, before looking over to the gun, "What about that?"

"Better have enough people with the Bofors, rifles won't do much anyway with those trucks, or if there is an armoured car around to play with us. So okay, me and Vesa to die on the ice. Anyone else who feel like ending things today?" Pentti asks.

Markku frowns. "We won't be able to wreck them firing from the side. We've tried that before, remember? They'll just breeze through and send the armored cars after us." Valrreri gets a look. "We've got that to fight aganist the vechles. No one's really trained with it, though."

Despite the wound on his right hand, which even got worse overnight, Valentin couldn't tolerate sitting at the cabin and doing nothing. Seeing an opportunity for action and making himself useful, he immediately joined the party of irregulars. He had stayed behind of the group to cover their rear, but he soon catches up and gets to the middle of the team. "Alright, so what's the plan?" He asks, having an idea himself but willing to listen to the others'.

Elias laughs to himself at what Valtteri says about the Russians, and then glances down at his arm. "I think I'll be sticking with the rifle. I couldn't throw all that well before the war, and I sure as Hell haven't gotten any better during it." The rifle is clutched a little closer to him now while the rest of plan is hashed out.

Valtteri raises his hand, "No one? I was taught how to fire a gun like that during my conscription. Not exactly like that, but it looks similar enough."

Teppo has also joined the attack on the convoy, for not only is it an opportunity to kill Soviets, but it's time spent outside the warm but somewhat cramped quarters of the cabin. He's trudged along in silence, listening to the others and keeping his eye on Valentin, for he knows the man is wounded.

Vesa rubs his be-hatted head with one gloved hand. "Pentti and I can go on the ice with molotovs. I think if someone else would come with us that'd be best. Put the Bofors south with loaders, riflemen north and south to pick off any infantry that come by. Don't spread out too much, we want to pin them down if we can. Sound workable?"

Marko hmms, "I dont know. I was told volunteers always die first." he sighs. "I will go if I have to." he says trying to keep his calm and bravery.

"I'll go to the north," Elias volunteers, sticking his hand up here, and straightening up some out of the snow. "I mean, unless someone else wants to go up there?" Sure it's farther away from their position, but maybe the Russian's wont expect him from up there.

Vesa turns his head, squinting a little into the dusky haze. "We should move somewhere that's easier to bottleneck. The river's wide right here."

Z = Badlands/Rocks
@ = Swamp/Marsh

Markku looks thoughtfully around the area, before nodding to Vesa. "Sounds good. We'll need to dig a fighting position for the gun, then. Perhaps it should be set up south, where the trucks are moving through…" He looks to Valtteri curiously. "You can fire it? Well, be my guest, then."

Teppo seems content to wait for specific orders, his inexperience perhaps making his quiet as the plan is discussed. Instead, he spends the time ensuring he has everything he needs to handm checking his ammo and weapon carefully.

"Such hospitality." Valtteri says dryly, "If we can move it where we need it, I can help dig a hole for it." He rolls his eyes, "Once, I wanted to be an engineer…" He half-jokes, his hands clutching his rifle to not give away the fact that they were shaking from more then the cold, "H-How many trucks usually pass through?"

Valentin listens to Vesa's plan and makes some adjustments. "I disagree, Vesa. We should emplace the gun southwest of here… There." He points in that direction (8 23). Then he looks around for more spots, for the riflemen actually. "Hmm. Rifles on both sides of the marshes. Here and… there." He points at the places (9 24, here and 7 24). "And we can have men with molotovs on the ice, like you suggested, west of here." The pale farmer points again (8 24). "What do you people think?"

Markku frowns. "It doesn't seem like a good plan. The gun crews would be vunerable to the infantry, and we would be unable to support. Bring the gun up…" He points to (8 24) "Here."

Marko Shrugs, "You guys tell me what to do and what to shoot. I am not really a good tactician."

Silence still from Elias, who listens as the discussion rages about the little group. "I'm a woodsman, and a hunter…" He murmurs to himself, not looking to anyone in particular here.

Valentin shakes his head at Markku's comment. "But then we'd lose our flanking surprise from the riflemen. We don't have Russians coming from the south, and I don't think we'll give the ones in the trucks time to move south and charge the Bofors." He explains.

Teppo digs a scrap of dried meat from his pocket and fumbles it into his mouth with gloved hands, chewing away at the tough fragment of dessicated raw reindeer while he waits for the plan to be done.

"Bofors in the way of the armoured car? No. And those things aren't moving slow. Bofors one south of here, the gunner .." Pentti points at Valtteri "..and you thre with the injured hand keep it rolling. Riflemen hang around there. Me and Vesa to die with glory. Those trucks will be rolling on the ice west of here quite quick. We have around one chance to take them out. Besides, it's Erkkis horse and now I'm taking him south." And he heads off for the sled.

Markku looks at the map again, and nods, slowly. "If you can be sure the trucks will be moving east-west… Okay. We'll set up there… Unless anyone has a better plan."

Valtteri approaches the map, looking over Markku's shoulder to see where hes pointing, looking confused at all the planning, "I'll just follow the gun then."

Vesa looks doubtful as he listens to Valentin, frowning behind the scarf. He rolls his eyes a little as he listens to Pentti. Die with glory, his Russian ass. But he moves to follow the sled, and Pentti.

"If they don't get that horse off the ice in one minute, I'm going there to get it. Spring will bury them in the water, but they're not taking the horse with them." Pentti starts a silent count to give them some time.

Vesa has quite a grim face on, knowing quite well what a cluster that was. "Why did they all run out like that? Are they crazy?" He mutters, as he puts the molotov away and unslings his rifle, ready to cover the group piddling away on the ice.

"No, dumb." Pentti mutters, "Now we accomplished nothing. A messed up armoured truck? Won't give us any more ammo."

Teppo hurries away from the frozen blankness of the river, moving back up the bank to take cover, puffing out little plumes of steam with each breath, along with some fairly disgruntled sounding muttering.

«Ground Combat» Teppo reloads his Mosin-Nagant!

Vesa is crouched low on the ice, his rifle out now instead of his molotov. He's watching the others on the river, looking rather worried as it seems they're just…sitting there.

«Environment» It's very cold out here…

Pentti looks down on his Suomi, "Well, if I have to go back out there, I hope you can give me some cover if needed. And where did that guy who got blasted by the car go? Bleeding to death somewhere?"

Vesa makes a small gesture to Teppo so the man can see where they are over here. Then the teenager looks at Pentti. "He got in the sled. I have no idea why, I told him to get off the river. He'll be no good shot up like that."

Teppo hurries over before sprawling down on the snow besides Vesa and Pentti and drawing a bead on the group below. "They're taking their time….." he mutters, scanning for more Russians with a sour expression. "He got shot pretty good, bleeding like a butchered hog."

Vesa exhales through his nose, steam rolling up around his face for a moment. "What the hell are they doing…"

"Well, if they don't get off there soon, I think our nurses will have quite a lot of work to look forward to." Pentti digs up a cigarette, and to show good discipline, lights it. "I thought I did little learning in the military, but these people must have skipped it all."

Teppo merely grunts, waiting to see just what the rest of their crew are going to do.

Vesa isn't moving until that group gets themselves out of danger. Which it seems they have no intention of doing. He glances at Pentti as the cigarette's lit, then back at the river and the clustered group. "Shit…infantry."

Valentin leaves the Bofors' side and moves several metres away before dropping to a prone position on the ice, bringing his Pystykorva to bear. Ouch. His right hand still hurts, even more so that the wound itself has gotten worse, for some reason.

Vasili skis off, as fast as he can. Which is pretty fast. He's an Olympic skiier after all. Admittedly he's not experienced with skiing while under fire, and he swerves around crazily as the fire comes in, especially when some hits.

Teppo racks his the bolt on his stolen Nagant and grins with a feral glee as the Russian goes down, the shell casing hissing in the snow besides him as he seeks a new target and reloads.

Valtteri peers… "I can hear them from the north…. I see one!"

Marko hmms, "I see someone at north." he whispers to others.

Konstantin doesnt' make it despite his speed, a bullet gets him in the stomach, and he tumbles onto the snow, skis going everywhere.

Pentti opens up as he sees Russians on skiis. "They got skiis on, watch your back if there are more of them."

«Ground Combat» Sasha moves East <E>.

«Ground Combat» Vasili moves East <E>.

Marrku hisses. "Well, what are you waiting for? High exposive shells!

Vesa's heart is pounding from the charge. He nearly took Sasha's arm off with the shot, and the calls of the men parked on the river keep the adrenaline coursing through him.

Pentti is reloading his SMG, "Not me, but maybe the idiots camping out on the ice need some." He shrugs, "Northwest of here. I'll go have a look."

Luukas grabs a couple clips of ammo as he passes Russian bodies on his skis, still looking to Pentti. "Northwest. They're attacking the ambush site with infantry?" A nod follows, turning that way.

«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Rifles from Swamp/Marsh (9 24)!

"Russians on skiis" Pentti mutters, "That's a first."

Luukas motions due north, "I heard shots from up there. We can cross the lake ice and flank whoever's there."

"I need to get close to be of use, you go that way." Pentti then heads off.

«Ground Combat» Pentti moves North <N>.

«Ground Combat» You notice Luukas arrive at River.
«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Rifles from Swamp/Marsh (9 24)!

Luukas skiis along, following Pentti's lead now. His scoped rifle is ready, but for the moment he's not yet got a view of the marsh ahead.

«Equipment» Luukas picks up 7.62-54R x 30.

Pentti listens to the rifle fire, "Well someone is north of here. But I need to check on Erkki's horse first." He nods towards the west for his best guess of where the horse is.

Luukas gives a nod, "I'll snipe from here. At least a shot to north when I can see a target."

«Ground Combat» Pentti moves West <W>.

«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Rifles from Swamp/Marsh (9 24)!

Markku looks to Valtteri, and, again, shrugs. "What do you think this is, a game? We aren't the regular army, you know. We're simple citizens fighting for the homeland, which the neighbor's invaded. I simply don't see-" He motions North. "There. He got away."

Pentti skiis in from the east, heading first for the horse and sled before looking around to see what else is going on. "Well they got skiis now, better cover our tracks when we head back." He's mostly talking with himself and the horse though.

Marko doesnt seem to be in a good view, he is bleeding alot and sighs unhappily. "Can someone take me back to cabin?" he sighs..

Valtteri places his hands on his leg, to help stop the bleeding, "You maybe simple! I went to an engineering college! I'm educated! This isn't the way we Finn's fight wars!"

«Ground Vehicles» Pentti hitches 37mm Bofors up to Sled!

"Get in the sled if you want to get out of here." Pentti then gets in, "Before we see any artillery our way."

Markku raises his eyebrows to Valtteri. "And who are the true Finnish people? You? Or us?" He moves to the sled, as Pentii hitches up the gun. "Someone help the wounded man in. I'll mush?"

«Ground Vehicles» Pentti gets into Sled.#-1

Valtteri looks to Pentti, "You! Who was firing at the surrendering Red?" He blinks, "Oh… right…." He hobbles over to the sled, leg still in very much pain.

(From Sled) Vesa twists around a bit, getting his small bag off his shoulder as things clink inside. Bandages are pulled out quickly, and he tugs off his gloves to let his fingers be more agile with them.

(From Sled) Valtteri still holds his hands on a rather nasty bullet wound to his leg. He looks over to Vesa, "How about you? Did you see who was shooting at the surrendering Russian?"

(From Sled) Marko is lieing in the floor, he seems to be very badly wounded, bleeding heavily.

(From Sled) Vesa gets some bandages around Marko's leg, though it doesn't seem like the pressure is going to do much. The man needs Korhonen. He looks back at Valtteri, first at his hand and then at the man's eyes. "Teppo," he says under his breath, yanking more clean bandages out of his bag. "He was firing at an enemy."

"It's not like we have room for prisoners." Pentti speaks over his shoulder, "There are no surrendering reds, but if they're wounded, nothing to waste bullets on, they'll die anyway."

Luukas returns, skiing in alone with his scoped rifle over a shoulder. He doesn't seem to have any new wounds, though his right leg acts a bit weak from the last one.

Luukas looks over as he enters the cabin, "Anyone still lost, missing? I can patch up some wounds if you need someone to help out, Vesa."

(From Sled #304) Vesa eyes Valtteri, getting bandages tightly around the man's leg. Typist misread and all. "A monster that's trying to help you, that's what." He secures the bandage and gets up without another word, turning his back on Valtteri to help get Marko out of the sled.

Luukas grits his teeth, spotting Marko. "Your leg and hand." The Ostrobothnian shakes his head a little. "Think it's too late for me to stick a bandage on, fellow. You need the doctor, or maybe Sonya can know what shot to give ya."

Luukas sets aside some more ammo he'd apparently looted off Russian bodies, stashing the clips with the rest of the cache inside the cabin.

Valtteri gives a cold eye to Vesa, and gives a quiet, "Thank you." before sliding out of the sled, collapsing in the snow. Using his Rifle, he props himself up, the bandages on his leg doing little to help him walk.

Sonja heads over to Marko, and wraps a bandage around his leg, with the assistance of… someone, as the wounds seemed to be firstaiding themselves. "Ouch." she says, brutalised by war, when she looks over the multiple gunshot wounds.

Pentti gets the horse and sled of taken care of quickly enough, heading for the cabin without any more words, adding some ammo to their ammo pile before taking a seat by the table.

Vesa moves about as he climbs out of the sled, grabbing hold of Marko to help get him onto a pallet. He looks at Sonja, grimacing a little. "I tried to help him while we were in the sled, but it was bouncing around too much to get the bandages on right."

Sonja just frowns at Vesa, and shakes her head, disapproving. "Well, you better get him in now. Looks like I got a new reading companion for a week. Anybody else injured?" she asks, looking over the others.

Marko seems to be seriously wounded, posibly wont be able to walk for some time, he opens his eyes and notices Sonja is with him, "I am back to your care eh?" he smiles with pain…

Vesa makes a motion with his head back towards Valtteri. "Him. I got his bandages on right." He adds that for Sonja's benefit. So there. He sits down on the edge of Marko's pallet, exhaling slowly and setting the rifle aside.

"Don't look at me." Pentti replies to Sonja, "I still got no ammo, so when the shooting started I set up a little camp in the forest, made some coffee, waited for things to get quiet."

Valentin had been dropped off, unconscious, on one of the several cots in the cabin. Eventually, he regains consciousness, and spends several moments trying to figure out where he is and what happened. Then, he looks around for Pentti. "Son of a bitch." He says to the other Finn.

Sonja ushers Marko into his old wounded bunk, and then buries him under bandages and piles of topical cream. The bullet in his head, she'll deal with tomorrow… and then she looks over Pentti with a frown, even as she moves to Valtteri. "You did?".

"Son of a bitch indeed" Pentti replies to Valentin before leaning back on the chair, fishing up a cigarette, "Yeah I did, only went back there to save Erkki's horse, he'd kill me if I didn't."

Valtteri gives a brief, but almost insincere smirk towards Sonja as she approaches. Its not as if hes being impolite, but between the pain in his leg and the immorality of these peasentfolk, it was hard to smile.

Valentin keeps glaring at Pentti. "I don't give a damn about what you did. It was your stupid plan. Your stupid plan almost killed us. Everyone around the Bofors." He sighs loudly, clearly in frustration and sits upon the edge of the bed. "We should've followed -my- plan!"

Sonja looks over the leg. "Better get him into a bunk as well, that looks pretty serious. At least it didnt shatter a bone.". And she ushers him over into a bunk below Marko.

"But wasn't it your plan?" Pentti smiles oh so friendly at Valentin, "Because while me and Vesa were waiting out there on the ice, the sled showed up all of a sudden. That wasn't part of my plan, but you sure seem like the kind of retard who'd come up with something like that."

Valentin looks clearly angry, "What the…? MY plan?" He huffs. "MY plan involved riflemen double-flanking the position where we happened to get shot at from. I don't know what YOUR plan was."

Marko notices sonja is working on him, he smiles to Sonja, "Thank you. I dont know how I can repay you this help to me…" he says.

"We went there to take out trucks, riflemen don't have much to do with that." Pentti shrugs before looking over at Sonja, "There's your chance Sonja, maybe he'll have something useful to give you so you have something to buy with later."

Sonja is working on Marko /and/ Valtteri at the same time. Excellence is a habit after all, as Aristotle said, and this has become almost habit lately. "No need to repay me, I'm not Pentti." she murmurs to Marko, apparently thinking of Pentti even before The Man Himself speaks, and then shifts to Valtteri's leg, which bleeds over the bunk. She wraps it in a bandage, and holds the bandage tightly over the wound.

Valentin isn't cooling down. "Yes, we were going after the trucks, but the riflemen were -supposed- to cover the goddamn gun, you idiot!" He shouts at Pentti, dumping all the blame on him. "Next time, either -work- on your planning beforehand or stay out of the fucking decision-making!" He adds angrily.

«Game» Markku moves into Cabin.

Valtteri winces a little bit, but manages to stay politly quiet as Sonja works on his leg, "Thank you, again… I didn't think it would hurt this much…"

Vesa fills a cup with hot water and sits down at the table, setting it on his knee. The boy is still frowning as he sips the water, staying away from both groups of people for now.

Pentti grins at Valentin, "When I'm not there, you can do all the planning you want. But if I'm there, you won't."

Sonja eyes Valentin and Pentti. She holds her sharp tongue though, meek as she is. She just gives a vaguely disapproving look at them, before moving to grab her fathers bag and take it over to the bunk, drawing out forceps, to dig the bullets out of the shot up.

Valentin doesn't care about the look Sonja gives him, his attention being fully on Pentti. "If you're there, I doubt we'll be so lucky as today, and we might die. So butt off of the planning process." He barks at the other man.

"You are really starting to get on my nerves", although Pentti still looks happy enough, "That wasn't the first ambush we have done, and it won't be the last, some are done right, some aren't. This one wasn't because you didn't listen to me, and if you try to use that plan of yours, we'll just have another failed ambush."

Marko Shakes his head, "We are patriots who wish to save Finland from the russians. If you cannot control the troopers under you well or start not caring, go join the Russians." he shakes his head, Many of us could die today. We are not your personal Toys." he sighs.

«OOC» Pentti says "I guess that's the end"
«OOC» Pentti says "Time to head for a late bed then"
GAME: Pentti has disconnected.

Valentin shakes his head almost violently, "I didn't do anything against your plan! You disappeared, and I heard we had to move the gun west,and we did." Then he sighs, as Pentti heads out.

«OOC» Marko says "…"

Marko shakes his head, "I dont like him. He is too arrogant. He should learn to show respect to his men, or it will be his downfall."

Sonja enhs, and shrugs. "I don't know, Erkki seems quite well respected. Pentti is his younger brother. The more bratty one." she offers, with a smirk. "He's good at finding things though. He got me my tea.". So all is forgiven.

Valentin lies back down on his cot. "Yeah, perhaps that's the only thing he's useful for." He says insultingly and stares at the ceiling, just trying to let the whole deal go. What's done is done, and they're all on the same side. Pentti will eventually have to watch Val's back and, unfortunately, viceversa.

Sonja shrugs, not really knowing what they get up to out there, and not really wanting to know. She knows it involves blowing flesh apart, thats all she need know. "You're not actually shot then?" she asks, looking him over with medic-vision.

Markus skiis towards the building after a long patrol. It only takes him a disconnect his skiis and head into the warmth of the cabin. Once inside, he begins to shed the extra layers that keep him warm. His gloves, scarf and cap are tucked into his jacket pockets, and then his jacket his hung up next to the door. His patrol had started off as two, but now it is only him that returns.

Marko sighs sadly, "I dont know. They should cover our asses better. Many of us could be dead." he sighs sadly, "I just got out of hospital today. I came back to Sonja's hands again. Yes attacking an Armored Car was suicidal but I was told of that. I was sure they would cover us with protection fire." he sighs sadly.

Vesa is still at the table, watching the window with an unreadable expression as he drinks the cup of hot water. When the door opens he looks over that way, putting the cup down on the table when he sees Markus has returned alone.

Markus peers about the room briefly and makes a general announcement to those that are giving him any attention, "Vaara was hit. Took a round to the leg. He'll be fine, it was just more safe to leave him at the logging camp to be treated there then make the trip here wounded. Doctor says he'll be back on his feet and ready to head back up here in a week."

Vesa looks over at Markus, then suddenly at Marko. "We were covering your asses, Marko," he says irritably. "Pentti cleaned up two, I killed one, and Teppo got one, too. In case you didn't notice when they dropped to the ground."

Sonja shakes her head at Marko. "Well, I wouldn't know." she says mildly, and then as the response from Valentin is apparently negative, gets to work on Valtteri's leg with the forceps, now the bleeding has stopped. "This might hurt a bit." she says, in nurse mode, as she approaches the wound. "You'll have to bring him here eventually, Markus… or are there doctors there? Is that where Papa is?".
The last sentence to Markus.

Markus looks towards Sonja and simply nods. As he sees the injury she is working, he is forced to turn away. There is an unsettling site of having to see the wounded soldiers on a daily basis. As Markus peers down at the floor, he says, "I saw your father while I was down there. He sends his love and our friend should be in good hands under his care. There is no word yet when the border guards will get their own doctor, so it is hard to say when he will return up here."

Vesa looks away now, back at Markus and Sonja. He rubs the back of his neck, watching the two of them for a while in silence and listening to Markus' account.

Marko scratches his head and puts his head to the pillow, "I dont know." he sighs.

"Wha-" Valtteri sits up a bit, "Oh, damn it!" He lies back down, and grits his teeth, squeezing his eyes shut.

Sonja prods into Valt's leg with the forceps. At least she found them, she used needlenose pliers on Tuomas' leg. But Tuomas got the morphine, and she's saving the last ampoule for something serious, and Pentti's got the moonshine so thats out too. She tries to be gentle. "Enough work for Papa here as well… though it's not nearly as bad as last week." she murmurs.

Markus continues to look at anything other then the injury being operated on. Not sounding very energetic Markus goes on to say, "Your probably going to wish you had another set of hands when we wrap up this upcoming mission to take out this Colonel."

Valtteri gives a rather pained cry as Sonja does her job, "Ahhhhh! Christ!"

Sonja is quick with Valt's leg, and the bullet swiftly removed. She wipes it with one of her cotton swabs, and then presses it into Valt's hand. "Must've been a ricochet or something, it normally goes straight through in my experience." she tells him, as she plugs the wound, which is bleeding again, and then wrapping it up in a firm bandage. "Upcoming mission?" she asks, being told nothing, as per usual.

Valtteri gives a semi-pained but relieved sigh. He looks at object pressed into his hand, weakly saying, "Well that's intereasting." Before slipping the bullet in a shirt pocket , and leaving his hand on his chest. He closes his tired eyes, and tries to rest. "Thanks Nurse."

Markus sits down on a near by chair and begins to unfasten the laces on his boots. While performing this simple actions he states, "All I have is second hand infomration and I would rate to start spreading rumors, but here is what I know. Supposedly some border guards from up north want us to take out some Russian Colonel that is visiting the front lines. There is a huge slew of ivans crawling all over the place, inside and outside the town." Markus has by now removed his boots and ties them togeather with an easy quickrelease not. The boots are thrown over his shoulder and he stands back up on his feet. He heads over towards the section on the floor that he keeps his few belonings, a book, a sleeping bag and blanket.

Marko Scratches his head and sighs, "I think I will try to sleep some." he sighs and smiles to Sonja, "Thank you alot for your caring." he says and closes his eyes.

Sonja ahs and nods at Markus. "Well, I'm sure you wouldnt even try if it was truly that difficult." she replies, and then says a silent prayer to God that she isn't expected to go out there.

Markus opens up his sleeping bag and crawls inside of it to get ready for some long overdue shuteye. "Everything I know is second hand and rumors. Who knows how much of it is actually true."
